North AmericaPoliticsModerate confidence — 67/100
Netanyahu’s rivals say US midterm results show Israel ‘cannot afford’ to have the prime minister remain in office.
Israeli opposition politicians have blamed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for eroding support for Israel in the United States after Democrats won control of Congress, and pledged to “strengthen bipartisan” ties if they form the next government.
The comments on Wednesday came after Democrats won majorities in both the Senate and the House on Tuesday in a sharp rebuke to US President Donald Trump, fuelled in part by deep frustration over the US and Israel’s war on Iran.
